My skills have special effects.

Chapter 72

The mountain road is difficult to walk, but the most difficult thing is not the mountain road.

But the robbers along the way.

During the short distance, there were three robbery attacks in a row, but they were all killed by Lin Yan on the spot with thunder.

At the last section, the road was completely impassable, and the horse could get on, but the car definitely couldn't go on, so we had to stop at the foot of the mountain first.

"It's getting dark, this place is very close to Ji's Village, I'm going to ask the villagers to come out and help!"

Ji Quan volunteered, patted his chest, and disappeared into the dense forest like a nimble ape.

"Take a break and eat something."

Everyone found a flatter ground, took water and ate some dry biscuits.

Lin Yan tore the pancakes and fed them to Xiaozhi, who ate them bite by bite.

When Xiao Zhi was full, let her rest next to Xie Lingyan, and then went to sit next to Zang Wei.

"Big Brother."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yan nodded: "I want to ask, senior brother, do you know the essence?"

"Spiritual marrow? Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Zang Wei's face showed a faint memory, "I know this is a precious and strange thing, and it has the miraculous effect of increasing human aptitude."

"Eldest brother, do you know what the spirit marrow is?"

"I only heard that the spirit marrow is a kind of ancient relic. One said that it was excavated from ancient ruins. Another said that it was obtained by killing some ancient demons and beasts."

"Monsters and beasts?"

"It's just a rumor. I haven't seen it with my own eyes whether there are monsters or not."

Monsters and beasts...

Speaking of it, the marrow is indeed like the bone of some kind of creature.

Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, and there was nothing to hide. He told the vision of his heart when he saw Li Qu died.

"I was in the underground ghost market. I saw the Hong family take out their spiritual marrow, and then I saw the same thing in the heart of the leader..."

"It turns out that the masked man is really you..."

Zang Wei didn't delve into Lin Yan's secret, but explained: "I haven't seen the spirit marrow. I just heard that when the spirit marrow is used, the skin and flesh should be cut open, and then the spirit marrow should be embedded under the skin and flesh, and connected to the bones. Together.

"When the wound heals, the soul marrow will be able to link with the human body to improve the person's aptitude.

"Buried in the arm, the power of fist and palm will be greatly increased;
"Buried in the foot bone, the strength and speed of the foot will be greatly increased;

"And so on."

"Then Li Qu probably used the same method to bury the soul in his heart.

"I was wondering why he was mediocre, why he could suppress Xie Lingyan and me in the same realm. It turned out that it was the effect of the spirit marrow."

After hearing this, Lin Yan felt awe-inspiring. He thought that the soul marrow was eaten.

But I didn't expect that it was actually used in such a primitive, rough, and even bloody way!

Almost evil.

But in this way, how did that commander put the spiritual marrow in his heart?
Cut open the heart and stuff it in?
In the previous life, it would be possible to do it with the development of surgery, but in this impoverished ancient world, how could it be done?
Suppressing the doubts, he continued to ask: "Eldest brother, I heard that if you wait for the genius battle, can you get the spiritual essence?"

Zang Wei's eyes seemed to be gloomy: "I once participated in a fixed-level talent competition, and that time, the reward for the first few winners, apart from the opportunity to go to Qianyuan Mansion for further advancement, was the spirit essence.

"It is said that the spiritual marrow can be big or small, and when it is digested, it will cause great pain and a certain backlash.

"If you want to use the spirit marrow, you'd better adjust your state, and after you've settled down, draw it slowly."

Lin Yan shook his head: "It's too scary to bury a foreign object in your own flesh, I don't want to do it."

Besides, all that remains of his spiritual marrow is the bark-like remains of a dead tree, and it's not entirely clear whether he can use it or not.

Zang Wei nodded: "I think so too. It always feels weird when a foreign object enters the body."

He didn't ask in detail how Lin Yan would deal with the spirit marrow.

"Eldest brother, I still don't understand a lot about Dragon Form Fist. After I enter the village, I hope you can give me some advice."

These words were ordinary, but after hearing Zang Wei, he took a deep look at Lin Yan: "It should be so."

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Watching Lin Yan retreat to Lin Xiaozhi's side, Zang Wei's eyes gradually became dark.

He recognized Lin Yan at that time, it was entirely because of Lin Yan's movements, most of them were changed from Wu Qinshou.

At that time, he wondered why Lin Yan didn't use "Dragon Fist" because it was more lethal.
But now after hearing what he said, I realized that Lin Yan hadn't been in contact with Dragon Fist for a long time, and he hadn't touched the advanced content of Dragon Fist at all.

"That is to say, it is impossible for Lin Yan to become vigorous. But he has displayed his combat power..."

Unconsciously, Zang Wei thought of some rumors that he had heard that only existed in legends.

It is said that those proud sons of the wealthy clan—not rich locals in rural areas like Ding’an City, but real giants of wealthy clans in Qianyuan Mansion and even higher levels—

From the moment they were born, they bathed in precious medicine to warm and nourish their qi and blood, making them born with strong qi and blood, and their muscles and bones far surpassed ordinary people.

Such a person, after breaking through to the strength realm, has vigorous energy and blood, and his muscles and bones are far beyond the ordinary strength realm, and can even fight against the rigid realm.

Lin Yan, is this kind of person?

"The enhanced version of Youlongdu, which I improved by myself, was said by the master to be a forbidden move that hurts the enemy one thousand and self-damages eight hundred. If you use it once, you will basically hurt it once.

"But in fact, this is because the muscles and bones are not strong enough, even if it is rigid, it cannot bear its load.

"And Lin Yan, relying on the strength state, can actually fight against the rigid state. With such muscles and bones, if he breaks through to the rigid state, maybe he can withstand the load of this move and exert its full power!"

A strong eagerness flashed in Zang Wei's eyes. In his life, he had broken his arm, and he had stopped thinking about it during his martial arts journey!
But he tried his best, expended painstaking effort, improved and strengthened Youlongdu lore style, but he was unwilling to bury the lost legend with him!
"Lin Yan, Lin Yan, if you break through the Gang Realm and use my lore move, how powerful will it be?"

The sun slanted to the west, the light and shadow were dim, the mountains and valleys gradually became silent, and in the lonely and wild ancient forest, there were occasional roars and roars, which made the leaves rustle.

Everyone had eaten, drank, and rested enough, but Ji Quan never came back, and there was no news of him.

Everyone gradually realized that something was wrong.

Xie Lingyan's younger brother, Pei Qing, said anxiously: "Elder Sister, nothing will happen to Junior Brother Ji, right? I'll go and find him!"

"and many more!"

Xie Lingyan stopped him: "If something happens, it's useless for you to go. I'll go."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Yan: "You take good care of them."

Lin Yan reached out and took out a poisonous smoke bomb that he found from Ganyang, and handed it to Xie Lingyan: "Miss Xie, be careful, if you can't do something, the most important thing is to protect yourself!"

"I know."

Xie Lingyan's beautiful shadow is like the wind, passing by the bushes and disappearing.

The waiting process was quite torturous, but fortunately, Xie Lingyan came back after only a short while.

Ji Quan came back with her.

But...it was wrapped in a thick linen black cloth, carried on Xie Lingyan's shoulders, and came back sideways.

"Junior Brother Ji!"

"No! Junior Brother Ji!"

Pei Qing and Fan Yunyun let out a cry of pain, and immediately rushed up to pick up Ji Quan, who was wrapped in burlap.

Inside the burlap wrap, Ji Quan was completely naked and bruised, especially on his neck, which was covered with purple-red hemp rope marks.

His eyes widened angrily, as if his eye sockets were about to crack, Fan Yunyun brushed him several times before closing his eyes.

"Thank you girl, how could this be..."

Xie Lingyan frowned, her eyes were flushed, she pursed her red lips, and opened her mouth.But he found his throat hoarse and unable to speak.

Lin Yan looked at Ji Quan, who was dying, and unconsciously recalled him. An hour ago, Lin Yan was still a brother Lin Yan, and he was courteous everywhere. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "It's Ji's village... something happened?"

Xie Lingyan gradually calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Ji's village has been taken over by a group of strong men, I don't know if it's robbers, or where the power came from, all the villagers in Ji's village seem to be slaves.

"It's dark, and it's too far away, I didn't hear clearly, I only saw..."

She clenched her fists tightly: "Junior Brother Ji was covered in bruises and bruises. They stripped him naked, hung his neck high, and died with regret."

"Damn, damn it!"

Pei Qing and Fan Yunyun's eyes were red, and they hugged Ji Quan tightly, filled with grief and anger.

Lin Yan sighed slightly in his heart, Ding'an City was turbulent, and nothing in the Guangchuan Mountains was peaceful.

"Miss Xie, have you found out how many people are there?"

"I just snatched Junior Brother Ji's body and rushed back first. They must have discovered it by now."

"In that case, Miss Xie, let me go with you."

He was worried that Xie Lingyan would be overwhelmed by hatred, unable to deal with things calmly, and prone to accidents.

There was no light at night, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and dense forests obscured the view. Fortunately, neither of them was weak, and they rushed to a mountain depression as if they were walking on flat ground.

Looking from a distance, dozens of simple and simple wooden houses, high and low, scattered in the valley, with a little bit of dim light, extruding star-point light clusters in the darkness.

Xie Lingyan pointed to a big wooden house in the middle of the mountain depression: "There is the base camp occupied by the bandits, Junior Brother Ji, just picked it up on the wooden pole in front of that house."

Looking from a distance, there was a large empty mud field in front of the big wooden house. At this moment, a circle of torches was actually lit around it, and there were crowds of people in the middle of the open space.

"Let's go and have a look."

Relying on their agility, the two of them quickly sneaked to the vicinity of the big house under the cover of darkness.

In the middle of the clearing, a group of honest and disheveled villagers were surrounded by the flames. They were at a loss and tried to shrink their bodies, trying to hide in the darkness, but the flames surrounded them tightly without leaving any gaps.

The torches were held by a group of vicious, tall and thick men with cold and ferocious faces, flickering on and off in the light of the fire.

On the high steps in front of the wooden house, stood a tall and thin man with a bald head, as cold as a falcon, and swept past the villagers gloomyly.

Finally, he seemed impatient, and said sullenly: "Don't tell me. The person who was hung up just turned his head and disappeared. You didn't snatch it. Maybe it's haunted!"

His voice was like two blades rubbing against each other, hoarse and piercing, like a crow flying in the night sky.

A smirk appeared on his face: "You don't think that someone will come to save you, do you?

"A group of pickled mud legs, don't even urinate and take care of yourself! It's your blessing in eight lifetimes to be able to do things for me!

"Don't be like that idiot Lengtouqing just now, thinking that you are a savior from the sky, but in the end, you still put down a handful of lime..."

As the words became more and more excited, the bald tall and thin man suddenly felt that the eyes of everyone in the audience suddenly froze, as if focusing on behind him.

"Third Master, you, behind you..."

A helper reminded.

The tall and thin man turned his head suddenly, his eyes were instantly amazed, what a beautiful woman!
Then he stretched out his hand and splashed a handful of enough lime, and suddenly poured it out: "Go to hell!"

However, that beautiful woman's figure suddenly flickered, and she seemed to disappear into the night.

"Thank you girl, keep alive!"

In the dark night, the tall and thin man only heard this cry, and then his legs were in severe pain, his head was stuffy, and he completely lost consciousness.
